question about BPU

[perky34b]

Hi there casinomeister my friend! Been awhile.

I have a quick question for you regarding Bingo Players Union.

Do you endorse them? They are claiming you do, but I have not seen anything on your site that says this.

In my opinion they are a garbage board, and I find it very hard to believe that you would endorse this. I have always found your site to be factual and informative.

BPU on the other hand is a regular slamfest. Anybody who posts something positive or factual about a site they are currently slamming gets degraded, called names, and even banned from their site. I have seen this many times.

It seems their main purpose is solely to trash sites, and they do not want their members to see any facts that might make their trashing seem ridiculous.

They tell you to beware of any site asking for proper identification as they are trying to scam you out of your money. I know you do not agree with this, as you say to send in the identification before you deposit. This is just one example of many.

Please please tell me you do not endorse them, so I can keep the faith.

Thanks a bunch and good to see you all!

I have found that the name calling basically gets started by some people who love a site toward passionate members who have been ripped off by sites and who are trying to warn others about what happened. The name calling usually starts with very carefully crafted wording which comes down to insulting the person who got ripped off by accusing them of cheating the site to begin with. When that type of situation starts, it escalates with the other person trying to defend themselves.

BPU assumes nothing and investigates all claims by members by asking for proof from members, such as emails, chat records, etc. and then asks for proof from the site itself that the claim by the members is wrong. If a site doesn't bother to respond, as is the case many times, then BPU doggedly tracks and continues to contact the site to get to the bottom of it before stating anything publicly that the member has a legitimate claim, even if that claim is nothing more than the site refusing to communicate with them to get a problem resolved.

BPU has also found in favor of sites that have communicated with BPU and proved that the claim was invalid and/or false or have worked with BPU and the member to get a problem resolved.

They only call a site 'rogue' when all communication between the site, BPU, and/or the member has failed and the site has ignored the problem completely. It stands to reason that if a site closes somebody's account with no warning, confiscated all monies those members had in their accounts, and refuses to communicate to even explain why the account was disabled to begin with, the site deserves the 'rogue' status and a warning to people across the net to steer clear because if it happens even just ONCE to somebody, it makes no difference if the rest of the site members haven't experienced problems with the site. It means if it can happen to ONE, it can happen to ALL at some point in time and by warning potential depositors to stay away from the site, the site either gets a rude wake-up call and changes the way things are handled at their site, or they are perfectly happy taking money from unsuspecting souls and going on their merry way to their bank.

There are some people that would argue with a rock about whether it should sit in the sun or in the shade. Human nature being what it is, people who love a site because they've been treated 'fairly' always suspect that the member who HASN'T been treated fairly and with respect must have cheated the site in some way. To be publicly accused of lying or cheating by a complete stranger doesn't go down well, however, there have been times, even as recently as last week at BPU, where a claim was proven to be false and BPU let everyone know publicly that the site hadn't done anything wrong. You can't ask for better than fairness for ALL, and that's what BPU goes out of their way, without pay, to bring about.

Banned members from BPU are a very uncommon occurance, but when it happens it is because those members were quick to condemn, accuse, and disrupt rather than contribute. It's a privately owned site and, just like online bingo sites, the rules are theirs to uphold. Fortunately, BPU doesn't change their rules on a whim like many bingo sites do. There is never a 'gotcha' with BPU.......except when they find during their investigation that you have lied to them about the 'facts' of your claim. Then BPU will expose you so be prepared for that.

May I suggest that if you had a legit question you would have emailed or PM'd the Host?
Otherwise it smells like troll doodoo

If you have a statement to make about BPU, then by all means state the facts

my question was for casino meister, thanks and it was do you endorse bpu? They are claiming that you do and I find it extremely hard to believe.

And you can all see how they have proven my point, while they all rushed over here to call my opinion troll doodoo, and to put me down for asking the casino meister a legitimate question. I would like to know and I would think everyone would like to know what Casino Meister thinks of it.

Thanks

There is a forum for questions to him, there is also the Private message function. I'd suggest you use those options.

I don't "endorse" them. I really don't "endorse" any portals. I do have portal links at the bottom of my pages, but these are webmasters that I know personally and we exchange links. That's about it.

I am happy to say that, while I do not make a point of endorsing sites, Casinomeister is the only player message board I would happily endorse.

Casinomeister is run in a professional manner, does not allow flames and attacks on individuals, and has solved countless issues in a professional manner.

Good going Bryan, you are definitely the end all in problem resolution.

I would like to add, in BPU defense, that we struggle against many more odds as we don't have the power that CasinoMeister does. But we did manage to earn our GPWA Seal and are proud of it. A step in the right direction for sure.
Many don't agree with the way we do things, but fairness is utmost on our minds, whether it be the site or the player with an issue.

I believe I have conducted myself in an adult manner here at CasinoMeisters with the exception of one time when I lost my temper. I apologized and gave my word that it won't happen again. And it won't.

Opinions differ, tempers flare and things are said in a way they never should have been. Perky you know why you were banned. I do believe there is a place for this conversation and it most certainly isn't here. I have an email address and a pm box here, if you would like to discuss it. I would be most happy to speak with you anytime.
